Ingredients

2 vanilla beans
8 cinnamon sticks
4 anis stars
8 cloves
1 lbs piloncillo
2 cups unsweetened cacao
8 cups boiling water
milk of choice to mix with hot chocolate concentrate that will form after slow-cooking

Instructions

Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and set to 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high "uncovered". Do not place the lid on top, we need water evaporation to create a thick hot chocolate "concentrate".
To serve, add 1/4-1/2 cup of the concentrate and fill your cup with hot milk of your choice. Any milk works.
